Baptism

To baptize means to "plunge" or "immerse" into water. In the Catholic Church infants are baptized to welcome them in the Catholic faith and to free them from the original sin they are born with.

We hope your preparation for your child’s baptism will bring you to a deeper level of relationship with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. We also hope that you will continue to grow in your understanding of our Catholic Faith and in your relationship with this community. Active and regular reception in the Sacrament of the Eucharist, the Mass, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and attending bible studies and other workshops at St. Hubert’s are tangible ways to deepen those relationships.

Having our children Baptized invites us as parents to be as prepared as we can be to be the best of teachers about our Catholic faith for our children.

If you have not had a child baptized in this community before, you are asked to attend a baptism class. If you have attended a class within the last five years, then this is not a requirement.

During this class we will go through all the specifics of the rite of baptism as well as answer any of your questions. Godparents and Christian witnesses are also welcome to attend.

Many parents attend the class before the birth of their child knowing that time after becomes harder to control. Parents are welcome to bring their children.

Please call Deacon Marty Meyer at 952-374-5057 to begin the registration process for this class.
